Raymondville (KFXV) – Fox Exclusive: A young girl is behind bars tonight for running over her ex-boyfriend’s current mother in law–several times. Authorities are considering that the incident could have be the result of a jealous rage.

It all started with a verbal fight between the suspect and her ex-boyfriend’s current partner. A fight that ended with no injuries but later lead to a second confrontation that nearly turned deadly.

23-year old, Christy Cruz is now facing four counts of aggravated assault, arrested just last night by Raymondville police officers.

According to authorities, Cruz saw her ex-boyfriend with another woman on the street and started a confrontation.

The couple left the scene only to find Cruz at their residence hours later on the corner of East San Francisco Avenue and North 9th Street.

This is what’s left of the family’s fence after Cruz plowed onto their property crashing into a parked vehicle. Inside the parked car were her ex-boyfriend, his current partner and another passenger.

Officials say Cruz put the car in reverse and went for a second hit. When the people inside car tried to escape, is when a woman–Cruz’s boyfriend’s mother in law– came out of the residence only to be run over.

Police explain Cruz did not stop there, she dragged the woman with her car and ran her over a second time.

The victim had part of her foot amputated and underwent another surgery today.
While Christy Cruz is left with four counts of aggravated assault after what police say was a possible crime of passion.

First of all she was not arrested. She didn’t know she had ran over her mother in law till they started threatening her on Facebook, so she turned herself in. Second it was not her boyfriend it was her husband. Her mother in law had krisstys husband and his lover at her house.. Wow!! what a good mother in law. Everybody is untitled to there opinion, but get the story straight before you’ll assume.. Mrs krissty was beaten and ask she did was drive away running for her life. If you’ll look at the picture closely you’ll WI see the scratches on her face. If you tell me I would call it self defence. I’m not saying he r mother in law deserved it. I just think she did the right thing driving away saving her life being 1 against 4 to 5 people.
What they need to do is drug test every witness and victim’s and PD will know the real motive. Js

In my defense the writer of this article didn’t bother to even get my side of the story and assumes that I was in a jealous rage. As for me attacking her purposely, it was not so. I was being attacked by my husband and four other people and my first instinct was to get out of there as fast as I could. I did not mean to hit her. Our marriage was always rocking and she had lots to do with it but that doesn’t mean I was looking to hurt her. For all those that commented God Bless You even those that did it out of context but the TRUTH will set me free!
